NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY: YO GABBA ZOMBIE!

Oni Press releases the much-anticipated anthology Yo Gabba Gabba Comic Book Time on Wednesday. Based on the popular children's show, the hardcover comic features a bunch of short stories by many great people, including one by myself and Mike Allred. I got a chance to see the final product before Emerald City and it's a gorgeous book. You won't need any knowledge of the show going in, the art is so pretty, it stands alone as a cool collection of great indie creators having a silly good time.

Below is the cover and a sneak peak at the first page by Mike and myself.

Oni Press and W!LDBRAIN Entertainment, the award-winning entertainment company and producers of Yo Gabbba Gabba!, have teamed to bring DJ Lance Rock, the residents of his magic boombox, Brobee, Muno, Toodee, Foofa and Plex, along with their Story Time pals from their hit series and live stage show, to the wild world of comics books with the first Yo Gabba Gabba! comics project--Yo Gabba Gabba! Comic Book Time Vol. 1. Featuring an all-new cover from Gabba Animation Art Director Parker Jacobs and new stories from YGG animators, comic book superstars like Evan Dorkin, Sarah Dyer, Mike Allred, J. Torres, J. Bone, Jamie S. Rich, and many more, this book promises to be a party for the eyeballs of readers young and old!

Allred fans should also pick up the first trade paperback collection of his Vertigo series with Chris Roberson. iZombie, vol. 1: Dead to the World collects the first six issues of the comic. Fangoria gave the book an amazing review, in case you're not familiar.

You can also read an really good interview with Mike at CBR, in which he talks about the future of iZombie, Madman, and other things.

My confession...

Author of prose novels and comic books like Cut My Hair, It Girl & the Atomics, You Have Killed Me, and 12 Reasons Why I Love Her. Jamie's most recent novel is the serialized book Bobby Pins and Mary Janes, and his most recent graphic novels are the sci-fi romance A Boy and a Girl with Natalie Nourigat; Madame Frankenstein with Megan Levens; and the weird crime comic Archer Coe & the Thousand Natural Shocks with Dan Christensen. He also co-created Lady Killer with Joëlle Jones.
